Seasons debute on Tuesday

I am running my first race of the season next Tuesday in Stockholm. The meeting is a part of the Energizer Euroseries ; http://www.energizer-euroseries.com/2003/

The field is extremely…

good, with three sub 13:00 5000 meter athletes with the addition of Rui Silva an indoor specialist with 3.30 in the 1500 meters. So it will be just like a strong outdoor Grand Prix race.

It is three years since I last raced indoors and my personal best is 7.53. After a miserable last year I hope to get in the 7.50s again. I have done three sessions on the track so far this year – not much, but at least enough to get a feel for the surface.

I am looking forward to racing again πŸ™‚
